7. Interrelación cultural: Podemos mencionar, entre otros, el flujo migratorio que se produjo a principios del
siglo XXI en España:
En algo coinciden todos los estudiosos del fenómeno migratorio: la inmigración ha adquirido recientemente en
España una relevancia política y social mayor que en cualquier otro momento de su historia. En un intervalo de
muy pocos años, ha pasado de ser un país de emigración a ser un país de inmigración. Este acelerado
crecimiento del fenómeno migratorio se hace aún más patente si lo situamos en el contexto de la Unión
Europea (UE): si en 1998 España era uno de los países de la UE con menor porcentaje de inmigrantes –algo
menos del 2 % de su población total– en 2005 se había convertido ya en el cuarto con mayor porcentaje –el
8,5 %, con un total de casi cuatro millones de extranjeros residentes–.

N:1. 1650s, from immigrate (1620s, from Latin immigratum, past participle of imigrare "to remove, go into,
move in," from assimilated form of in- "into, in, on, upon", see in- (2); + migrare "to move", see migration;
Related: Immigrated; immigrating) + -ion (suffix forming nouns of state, condition, or action from verbs, from

2. immigration, process through which individuals become permanent residents or citizens of a new country.
Historically, the process of immigration has been of great social, economic, and cultural benefit to states. The
immigration experience is long and varied and has in many cases resulted in the development of multicultural
societies; many modern states are characterized by a wide variety of cultures and ethnicities that have derived
from previous periods of immigration.
3. In the post-World War II period, immigration was largely the result of the refugee movement following that
war and, during the 1950s and ’60s, the end of colonization across Asia and Africa. Immigration from these
areas to former imperial centres, such as the United Kingdom and France, increased. In the United Kingdom,
for example, the 1948 British Nationality Act gave citizens in the former colonial territories of the
Commonwealth (a potential figure of 800 million) the right of British nationality.
4. Immigrants and guest workers played a vital role in the rebuilding of Europe’s infrastructure after World War
II by working in heavy industry, in health services, and in transport.
